Map Pack Not Installing

I downloaded the map pack and went to install it and got the message "PR 0.973 must be installed." I am positive that I have PR 0.973 because a) I am able to get on the servers, and b) It says that the version is 0.973 in the bottom left corner when I open PR. I am also updated to BF2 1.5 and have made sure that the directory I am installing to is my root Battlefield 2 folder.
One thing I have noticed is that even though I have PR 0.973, when I search for "Project Reality" in my start menu, it comes up as Project Reality 0957. However, it still opens version 0.973 when I click on it.

Try reinstalling everything.

You don't have to reinstall everything. We have a small batch file that will update your registry, basically the map pack installer is not finding the registry key telling it that 0.937 is installed.
Read this and make sure you pick the correct downlaod if your OS is 32 or 64 bit,

Thanks for the help! It worked and I was able to play for a while. However, I continued to get MD5 Mismatch errors (an unrelated problem), so I decided to completely uninstall and reinstall BF2, patches 1.41 and 1.5, PR 0.973, and the mappack. It works fine, except that I am getting a "CD Key Not Valid" error even though I put in the code on the back of my manual. Is there any way to fix this? I have already tried the bfkeychanger tool, but it doesn't help since my CD key is already correct.
